Holiday.com is a travel eSIM built by the team behind ExpressVPN, one of the best-known names in consumer privacy.

This review covers how it works, where it earns its place, and the rough edges to know about. For the wider field, see the best travel eSIMs in 2026.

Holiday.com
A global travel eSIM for 150+ destinations from the ExpressVPN team — one eSIM, topped up as you travel.
Where it shines
Holiday.com is at its best for travellers who value the convenience of one eSIM across many countries and the trust of an established privacy brand. If you already use ExpressVPN, or you simply prefer buying connectivity from a company with a track record in secure connections, it is a natural fit — particularly for multi-country itineraries where a single reusable eSIM is simpler than juggling several.
Where it still has rough edges
It is a newer product, so its track record is shorter than Airalo's, and the pool of user reviews is still small. Setup on Android can require a manual APN tweak — more fiddly than the smoothest rivals — and, like the others here, it is data-only (no local calls or texts). A handful of users have reported billing or data-amount complaints, so it is worth checking your plan details and confirming the data you have bought. None of this is disqualifying, but it is fair to weigh against Airalo's longer track record.
Verdict
Holiday.com is a credible, privacy-minded travel eSIM with a genuine pedigree behind it, and the single-eSIM-for-many-countries model is genuinely convenient. For the broadest coverage and the longest track record, compare it against Airalo first; choose Holiday.com if the ExpressVPN pedigree and global convenience appeal to you. Confirm current plans and pricing on Holiday.com's page before buying.
